Revisions or Adjustments
Once the schedule is developed, it may, for serious reasons, be revised by addition or cancellation of courses. Because revision, especially cancellation, affects student schedules, it should be done only for the most serious of reasons and should not substitute for good planning. All changes must be initiated by the appropriate assistant dean of the area. The final decision to alter the schedule rests with the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Such decisions will be based on the following:

Addition of Courses or Sections

Student needs

Enrollment in other sections

Projected enrollment

Availability of faculty

Availability of space

Budgetary considerations

Cancellation of Courses or Sections

Projected enrollment in a course

Actual enrollment in course to be canceled

Enrollment in other sections

Special circumstances or considerations

Budgetary or space demands

Availability of qualified faculty

Addition of a course must be publicized in a timely manner. In case of a course cancellation, all affected students must be notified and every effort must be made to advise students of other course options and to assist them with schedule changes.
